RESISTO PROJECT – PUBLISHABLE EXTENDED ABSTRACT

Communications play a fundamental role in the economic and social well-being of the citizens and on operations of most of the CIs. Thus they are a primary target for criminals having a multiplier effect on the power of attacks and providing enormous resonance and gains. Also extreme weather events and natural disasters represents a challenge due to their increase in frequency and intensity requiring smarter resilience of the Communication CIs, which are extremely vulnerable due to the ever-increasing complexity of the architecture also in light of the evolution towards 5G, the extensive use of programmable platforms and exponential growth of connected devices. The fact that most enterprises still manage physical and cyber security independently represents a further challenge. RESISTO platform is an innovative solution for Communication CIs holistic situation awareness and enhanced resilience (aligned with ECSO objectives). Based on an Integrated Risk and Resilience analysis management and improvement process availing all resilience cycle phases (prepare, prevent, detect, absorb, etc.) and technical resilience capabilities (sense, model, infer, act, adopt), RESISTO implements an innovative Decision Support System to protect communication infrastructures from combined cyber-physical threats exploiting the Software Defined Security model on a suite of state of the art cyber/physical security components (Blockchain, Machine Learning, IoT security, Airborne threat detection, holistic audio-video analytics) and services (Responsible Disclosure Framework) for detection and reaction in presence of attacks or natural disasters. Through RESISTO Communications Operators, will be able to implement a set of mitigation actions and countermeasures that significantly reduce the impact of negative events in terms of performance losses, social consequences, and cascading effects in particular by bouncing efficiently back to original and forward to operational states of operation.

1. INTRODUCTION

The main purpose of this Deliverable is to provide a general roadmap towards the dissemination strategy and communication plan that will be followed throughout the RESISTO duration. It has to be noted that the specific point in time (M2) is too early to result in a concrete and detailed dissemination and communication strategy since this requires a thorough investigation of the project capabilities and is directly and strongly connected to the elicitation of the user needs and requirements that will occupy the first project year. For that reason, a series of Dissemination and Communication activities Deliverables has been foreseen.

Thus, since at this point the RESISTO project just started, the content of the present version represents a preliminary scheduling in the form of headlines, to act as the first roadmap for all consortium partners for the planning of their related dissemination and communication activities, at least for the first project year. To this respect, it has to be noted that all the issues that are dealt within this first version will be thoroughly examined and presented in more detail and elaboration within the next second version (D10.7 - Dissemination and Communication Activities – second) due on M12. In D10.7 all activities foreseen and accomplished during the first project year will be mapped and individual dissemination and communication actions per partner will be listed.

2. COMMUNICATION AND DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

The main goal of the dissemination strategy within RESISTO is the dissemination of the achieved results to the largest audience as possible. This includes the following objectives:

The definition of mechanisms and strategies for an effective dissemination;

The creation of a community composed by the project partners and interested stakeholders;

The implementation of targeted communication activities for different recipients (e.g., stakeholders, research communities);

The performance of dissemination activities to raise international awareness and interest in the project activities and in the achieved results;

The dissemination of relevant project results to standardization bodies;

To maximize the impact of RESISTO by creating a liaison with other EU, regional and national projects. The dissemination activities are devoted to the establishment of a critical mass of stakeholders and research bodies. In order to achieve this goal, the results of the activities within RESISTO will be disseminated to the widest possible community through several means. The participation of entities outside the consortium and knowledge sharing will be encouraged through networking activities and events aimed at increasing the impact and enriching the scientific and industrial contribution to the project. The goals of the dissemination strategy are:

The preparation of a plan for the dissemination activities;

The creation of an image of the project;

The establishment of the project website, together with its continuous update;

The use of social networking tools;

The preparation of articles, publications, press releases and brochures/flyers;

The participation to dissemination events.

The practices to be followed by the dissemination strategy refer to the following principles:

definition of the various target audiences to whom the project will appeal;

identification of the type and nature of the knowledge produced and production of targeted dissemination materials tailored to the characteristics of each audience segments;

establishment of communication means and channels to reach these audience segments along with appropriate preparation of printed and electronic materials;

selection of the most suitable time schedule to implement the items listed above in order to achieve the most effective dissemination possible.

2.1 Initial identification of Stakeholders, targeted audience and User Groups

In order to develop an effective dissemination and communication strategy, following the determination of its specific goals and objectives, the most critical step is the identification of the target audience for the project. It is clear that for each phase (requirements definition, development and integration, piloting implementation - as it will be described later in this Deliverable), different groups will be targeted so as to proactively and effectively provide the most relevant information to particular specific groups.

To this respect, and in order for the produced knowledge during the project to be disseminated and communicated effectively, the following groups have been initially identified, at this preliminary stage:

This document is produced under the EC contract 786409. It is the property of the RESISTO Parties and shall not be distributed or reproduced without the formal approval of the RESISTO Steering Committee

1. Initial phase: requirements and architecture definition

facility managers and working conditions advisors;

IT engineers, cyber/physical threat avoidance workers and hardware / software developers;

students, researchers, and the academic community;

general public;

telecom providers, end users and ISPs associations and security communities.

2. Development and integration phase

policy makers in large telecom organizations or in government and ministries;

critical infrastructures regulators, managers and grants providers;

development partners and stakeholders from international and national cooperation agencies;

public and private agencies and associations against cyber and physical threats;

National and International Telecommunication associations.

3. Piloting implementation phase:

industry stakeholders and policy makers;

telecommunications and security supplier companies and integrators;

electronics and sensors manufacturers;

mobile, web and IT developers;

national and international Telecommunication Standardization Bodies;

risk / resilience related players and associated agencies;

the wider security community and associated markets;

the wider critical infrastructures community and related national and international bodies since many of the project outcomes are foreseen to have significant applications and important impact to other critical infrastructures (i.e. transportation infrastructures, energy plants etc) apart from the telecom ones.

To this end, based on the above list, different mechanisms and actions will be employed in order to disseminate and communicate the goals and outcomes of RESISTO to the above wide variety of targeted groups. Attempting to make an initial classification of the various stakeholders of the targeted audience the following general groups are derived where respective dissemination and communication tools, means and channels will be applied to attract the major possible appeal:

1. Dissemination to European and nationally or internationally based industries: the RESISTO industrial partners and SMEs will disseminate the project scope and outcomes not only within their companies and organizations, but also out of their companies and through their client networks and communication channels. The expected mechanisms to be applied are:

informal awareness creation and knowledge transfer, through internal websites, portals and newsletters;

meetings of related staff with other personnel out of the project, to identify synergies early enough;

clustering with other EU and national research projects and operational initiatives;

dissemination to related Business Interest Groups with the use of all dissemination and communication channels, such as electronic media and participation in conferences, fairs, exhibitions and joint events.

2. Dissemination to the academic and scientific research community: the RESISTO academic partners and Research and Technology Organisations (RTO) will disseminate the technological and scientific results that will be of major interest for the scientific and industrial commercial community. These results will be communicated, apart from the RESISTO website, at scientific, hardware and IT, telecom infrastructures and the general security society meetings, through publications in peer-reviewed conferences and journals, through press releases for popular technical magazines, along with social media and networking. Metrics such as the Impact Factor will be used to select the most appropriate and important journals for the scientific content while Open Access policies will be also promoted. Special sessions organizations in international and IEEE Conferences and workshops will be pursued.

3. Dissemination to the wider public, the media and potential users: the attraction of a wider public is planned to be accomplished through the creation and inclusion in web sites, the social media and popular channels along with press releases in magazines and newspapers or newsletters, adjust the content each time to the specific target group.

4. Dissemination to policy makers, security organizations and End Users (Telecom groups and Standardization Bodies): this activity includes a variety of actors including those players that determine the legal framework in national and international level since the RESISTO affects legal and ethical issues (such as personal data) as well. The above category ranges from the EU Committees and Agencies related to critical infrastructure protection up to Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and International Standardization Bodies (IEEE groups, ETSI and ECC etc). The related activities are foreseen to take place in the later stages of the project where the proof of concept and the piloting implementation will result in successful validation and evaluation results. Thus, representatives of these entities will be invited to observe the operational RESISTO platform during the piloting implementation, while targeted actions are envisioned: participation to large security and critical infrastructures related scientific or market events, fairs, exhibitions, conferences and expos in combination to exploitation actions.

5. Clustering with other research and operational initiatives: Intra-project dissemination and clustering with relevant EU or national projects will be pursued to achieve essential and important collaboration between researchers within Europe. Currently running or already finished EU or national research projects with disciplines related to RESISTO will be contacted to establish relationships and investigate potential common interests or even combined implementations and approaches, exchanging views and information, fostering cooperation and feedback with other players on the field and enabling stakeholders’ interaction. This will be facilitated through participation in Clustering Events organised by the EC, Experts working Groups, Critical Infrastructures Initiatives or Security Organizations.

6. EXECUTION OF DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

The key to the effective dissemination of project results is to communicate important achievements in the right time and to the right stakeholders. Thus, as denoted in Section 2, the dissemination and communication activities will follow a time plan compliant to the main project phases:

The initial project phase incorporating Definition of user and architecture requirements will be accompanied by an initial awareness creation phase (year 1) towards dissemination and communication actions, during which the concept and project objectives will be communicated to a wide range of stakeholders;

The project development and integration phase will be accompanied by a focused market and stakeholders attraction phase (year 2), during which early outcomes will be published and communicated;

The piloting implementation phase will be accompanied by a more aggressive strategic dissemination phase (year 3), during which pilot trials with end users will be held to boost stakeholders and market penetration and to pave the way for the commercial exploitation after the end of the project.

All consortium partners will contribute to the implementation of the dissemination strategy. There are 7 deliverables foreseen in the workplan which are associated with the dissemination strategy, as listed in Table 2 that will materialize the above mentioned dissemination and communication actions timeplan.

7. CONCLUSION

The Dissemination plan is the guideline for the dissemination of the project and of its results. This plan presents dissemination tools for particular targeted audience and draft and is a living document. However, since at this point the RESISTO project just started, the content presented in this Deliverable represents initial headline planning to act as the first roadmap for all consortium partners so that to have the proper guidelines for the conductance of their related dissemination and communication activities, at least for the first project’s year. All the issues that are dealt within this first version will be thoroughly examined and presented in more detail and elaboration within the next version of this Deliverable due on M12, where all actual and foreseen related activities will be listed. Naturally, the issues set herein will be continually monitored, updated and reported during the project.
